#194510 — tcp_probe module missing

FromIreneusz Szcześniak <irek@irkos.org>

Subjecttcp_probe module missing
Message-ID<vAXcB-2Y1-3@gated-at.bofh.it>
Hi,

I'm running an up-to-date Debian Stretch on an AMD64 computer.  I 
would like to use the tcpprobe module, and so I'm trying to do:

sudo modprobe tcp_probe

But I get:

modprobe: FATAL: Module tcp_probe not found in directory ...

Why is this module missing?

Is there a quick way of getting it?


Thanks & best,
Irek

Because you normally don't use it (99.99%). It is part of testing utility
and flagged with "use with caution".

If you are asking here, I doubt that you are qualified to use it. You can
however rebuild the kernel after enabling this module from "Network
testing".
